Indian Grill Chicken In Oven

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine plain yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are all well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

4. Remove the marinated chicken drumsticks from the refrigerator and place them on the wire rack, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Ensure the drumsticks are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking.

5. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Halfway through the cooking time, rotate the drumsticks to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice, crispy exterior.

6. Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

7. Serve the Indian Grill Chicken hot alongside fluffy basmati rice, warm naan bread, or a refreshing cucumber salad.
